Ever stop and wonder why life feels so hard?

You're doing the "right" things but still feel like things aren't working in your favor?

Manifesting may seem woo woo to most, but for those of us that use it to create each and every detail of our desired life, it's a way of living.

In this episode of "Through Her Lens," I interview Valerie Adams, an intuitive mindset and business coach who specializes in helping entrepreneurs and highly ambitious women.

We discuss her personal growth journey, from feeling unfulfilled in corporate America and struggling with relationships to becoming a successful coach who uses her psychic and mediumship gifts.

Valerie shares her insights on the importance of self-awareness, communication, and the continuous process of growth in relationships. We explore the concept of readiness for love, the power of manifestation, and the significance of aligning one's thoughts and beliefs with their desires.

Valerie offers practical advice on attracting a dream partner and emphasizes the mind-body connection in shaping one's reality.
